But you guys claiming that they can't be provoked make me laugh, personally I think you are full of shit :icare: |

Likewise in my 20 years - no fights, no need. I didn't even hit the guy who thought he would stab me in the parking lot (he tapped me on the chest with the knife, mind you). As a matter of fact, I managed to leave, completely avoiding the need to defend myself. Its a lesson I learned long ago that the strongest "warrior" avoids combat completely.
And yea.. the idea of someone jogging back and forth calling my girlfriend names actually made me giggle a little bit. Someone THAT ridiculous would either be doing it out of jest or insanity, both conditions I can laugh at. Its possible that she might be offended, but it is NOT my duty as a man to prevent that. She's a strongminded woman, and I'm certain that if it really bothered HER, she'd know how to deal with it. I don't need to be the big thug who protects my woman -- this isn't the Middle Ages anymore. (Physical threats are their own category, however they are just as easy easily avoided or ignored, or defended against with equal force). |
ustwo, i am astounded by your talent in finding reasons to post "hypothetical" insults about fellow TFP'rs. Is there a cause for this?

In other words, to follow up on the original post, if someone were to try and provoke me, it would not be a "good thing" to counter that provocation with violence. I might hurl an insult back (meeting the provocation with a matching response) or more likely, I would just shake my head and wonder what the provocateur's problem is... Water off a duck's back. |
I just don't see it: Unless your under actual threat, how are words justified by violence?
If someone called you or your wife names and you hit them, it's assault. It is a crime. However, all bets are off if you are actually threatened. |
